We Will Rock You |
A futuristic rock musical written by Brian May and Ben Elton, featuring over 30 Queen songs.
The time is the future, in a place that was once called Earth. Globalization is complete. Everywhere, the kids watch the same movies, wear the same fashions and think the same thoughts. It's a safe, happy, Ga Ga World. "Unless you're a rebel. Unless you want to Rock."
On Planet Mall, Rock 'n' Roll has been banned for centuries. All musical instruments are banned. The Company Computers generate the tunes and the kids download them. But resistance is growing. Underneath the gleaming cities, down in the lower depths live the Bohemians. Rebels believe that there was once a golden age when kids formed their own bands and wrote their own songs. The Bohemians dream that one day these lost chores will be heard once more. They call this his day, The Rhapsody.
Legend persists that somewhere on Planet Mall instruments still exist.
Somewhere, the mighty axe of a great and hairy guitar god lies buried deep in rock placed there in the
golden age against a time when it would be needed to inspire the kids anew.
The Bohemians need a hero to find this axe. A crazy rebel with a heart of solid rock who will
draw the guitar from the stone and play the ancient anthems.
"He's just a poor boy. From a poor family" But the Bohemians must find this hero before the
Company does. For if the Ga Ga Cops get him first they will surely drag him before the Killer
Queen and consign him to oblivion across the Seven Sees Of Rhye. Where is this axe hero?
Where is the Hairy One's lost axe? Where is the place of living rock?
The cast includes Hannah Jane Fox, Peter Johansson and Jenna Lee James.
